Apple updates the iPod Classic to a minimum of 120GB; kills thick, 160GB model

For those still interested in the Classic flavor of the iPod, there is now a 120GB storage option replacing the 80GB model. We had a feeling that this one was coming and after the Zune 120 was confirmed, we knew it to be true. The price is set at $249.99, which works out to the same as the Zune 120 and older iPod Classic 80GB model.
The monstrous 160GB iPod Classic model was axed. Sorry folks.

Uh…. that’s a nice wishful thinking. I’d take one, tho, I mean I could use the other 160 GB for data and stuff.
Seriously, I think, you mean the 160 GB model ;)

There never was anything wrong with the 160GB Classic. All they’ve done now is sell you the same product for a high price with less memory.

Good lord, unless it’s full of other crap besides music, and I mean a lot of useless crap that you don’t need to have on a friggin’ ipod, 160gb is overkill. The normal consumer that listens to music is barely going to have 1/20 of that.

Actually, I need 320 gb. I’m making a collection of every album of ever band that I like as well as every bootleg I can find for them. There is no way a 160 GB will work for me, I’m going with the 320 GB Archos. If the ever release a 320 gb ipod it will probably be about the same price as the archos anyway ($540) The decision not to release a 320 GB this year will probably lose them a lot of customers who want more space.

Any real music fan needs more space. If you have 1000 plus CDs ripped at 320 kbps plus some podcasts and video then the 160GB classic is already near full. Bring on the 320 GB.
